It's a trap!

Honestly, I think it's a cop-out. They wanted to name President Tom (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) of Iran, but they'd expose themselves as the moonbats they are if they did that...of course, I figure they also had a tough decision between him and Hugo Chavez and took the easy way out.

They sure wouldn't like my nominee.

The editors of that sorry excuse for a news magazine really wanted to name Fidel Castro man of the year, but couldn't come up with quite enough nerve.

Man of the year: "You"

What a bunch of feel-good, namby-pamby horse hockey.

What, did they have a flashback to 1969?

Does the "You" include all Yous?  Even the murderers, rapists, ATF agents, and politicians?

After a cop-out like this, I bet they don't get a super-hyped TV special next year.

Cosmo,

Is that you or Jeff Bridges?

Not at all.  The article makes a lot of sense.  It's not feel-good stuff.  It's the truth. 

That doesn't mean they should make an abstract "you" the person of the year.  Of course, that would also disqualify "The American Soldier" person-of-the-year from a year or two ago.  That I felt was really a good moment for Time.  Maybe they should just make those kinds of statements with a feature article or something, and actually give us a person of the year.  But why should the Person of the Year always be a good guy?  If this was "President Tom's" year, make him man of the year, and expose him in his hideousness.
